Shipping to canada with USPS, not the "courier" bandits
Hello Marcus, thanks for allowing us an avenue to ask questions.
I am wondering why Camping World will not ship through the United Sates Post Office?
We Canuks get hit with a brokerage fee that only UPS, FedEx and the other ‘couriers” impose. This “fee” usually starts at $50.00 and can go higher. The Post Office is straight forward. Pay the postage and in most cases it’s extremely reasonable. They even do pickups. So, that can’t be an excuse.
I don’t mind paying whatever taxes and sometimes duties that get applied by our wonderful government, but the brokerage fees make it impossible for us to want anything that badly.
I am sure you would see a rather large influx of new customers if you opened things up and use USPS to Canada.
Are you getting a kickback from the couriers?
Thanks, Rick
